Political Quotes

“The U.S. was thrust by Biden and the Democratic Party into the Ukrainian conflict. We have spent over $113 billion to support Ukraine in its war against Russia. Democrat legislation passed in the 117th Congress exempted Biden from complying with numerous requirements of the Arms Export Control Act and the Foreign Assistance Act for leases to Ukraine, a country that former President Obama didn't think twice about not lifting a finger to assist in 2014. These exemptions have led to rampant spending with little to no accountability. The American people deserve transparency and assurance that their hard-earned dollars are not simply being given away, which is why I have introduced the Ukraine Lend-Lease Accountability Act this morning. This legislation would ensure that the terms of Federal foreign military aid leasing would be followed by the President. It is unacceptable to throw money to a country with no terms for repayment, especially when we are talking about over $100 billion at a time when we are having to cut our own budget. If I have to choose between a foreign war and our seniors who are struggling, I choose our seniors. If we have to choose between our children and their future, I choose our children. Mr. Speaker, I choose America first. ____________________”
